Time passes by so quickly again

(●´ω｀●)ゞ
A good friend of mine visited me for one week in Vienna. It was so much fun! We have been doing quite a lot during the week.

Visiting the 猫 café, going to an asia party, doing a lot of sight-seeing, meeting up with my friends in Vienna, rented a paddleboat and went out on the Donau, going to the zoo, enjoying the city and the sun.

Ok, there were two days were it has been raining but we went shopping without an umbrella! www Afterwards we needed a hot shower σ(^_^;)

Nevertheless, this one week passed so quickly! Uneblievable!
That shows me that we should all treasure the time we spent together with friends or just our free time for ourselves!
But it's always like this.... if you have a fun time, time passes quickly.

At this end of the week I also have been attending a reading of my cousin. It was in a really nice and small place. I enjoyed it.

But what surprised me the most this weekend was the Setagaya park (世田谷 園) in Vienna!

It's really beautiful there! I was so surprised that something like that exists in Vienna! But that's not all, I heard there are some more places like this in Vienna. I'll definitely go and check them out and take pictures.
However, why I was in this park was because I attended a traditional japanese tea ceremony....the quick version of one (＾～＾)

Enjoy the pictures! (*^ー^)ノ

In-Ear-headphone fruits! wwwww

Rockin'

More by chance I watched the new music video by CROSSFAITH 'Monolith'.
I'm already pretty excited about the concerts although they'll be just the support band for Bleed From Within (^_^)

And you all know that youtube is giving you some advice what kind of videos you could like as well.

There I found the video from SiM. Up until then I haven't watched any of their videos www although I was listening to their music for quiet a time.... and damn!
Their music video is KiLLing ME right now (in a good way) (^ε^)♪
(Haha, a good joke on the title.)

Please check out the music video SiM - KiLLiNG ME (^人^)


I also found the band coldrain .... that's when I realised that there are too many good bands out there which I haven't listened to yet ヽ(*'0'*)ﾂ

Inoran in Vienna

Yesterday was the concert of Inoran in Vienna.

At first I thought I'm pretty late when I just arrive one hour before the entry but I was like the 8th person who had come!!

Ok, the concerts in Vienna aren't really too big but that was a surprise (o__O) Of course many more people came later on but yeah, I was still pretty surprised.

However I used the hour to make some new czech and slovakian friends. One was somehow really a crazy fangirl but they were all nice (^_^)

When we were finally allowed to enter I made it to the first row! (no surprise wwww) Well, while waiting for the opening band to come to the stage I was talking to random people. Many Luna Sea fans. Even a japanese woman was there. I spent the time with her talking and a little fangirlying about the band www

I think she's a great fan to follow them through all over Europe from Japan! I was so surprised about it!
But she was so nice and kind. We're both rocking in the first row later on wwww

After the concert Inoran gave a meet&greet for all of his fans. You could ask him for an autograph, a photo or even a hug...or everything together and he did it with a big smile (///∇//)

Since the stage was downstairs we both went up and drank something together at the bar.

Then we saw u:zo passing by and going outside sitting next to DNR's bus.
Later on murata and Ryo were following him. As the fangirls we are, we were slowly going the same way. When they saw us u:zo immediately talked to my japanese friend and was talking to her if she's from Austria. She told her that she's following them through Europe and they were all surprised. They also asked if I was japanese but she told them that I'm half taiwanese (what she also told Inoran before). They were really friendly talking and joking with us (although it was most of the time in Japanese wwww I didn't understand all of it since my Japanese isn't the best and I was half deaf after the concert www).

So the hardcore fans were waiting a long time for them to arrive again and we were lucky. They came again and have been so friendly to give everyone a hug. Since my japanese friend is a really big fan of Inoran and it's not possible to get a hug in Japan I went straight to Inoran and pushed then my japanese friend to him. She was so grateful and happy (*⌒∇⌒*)

We thanked all of them a lot for their kindness and their good work and as a farewell I fist bumped everyone except for murata he just disappeared in the taxi and we all waved them.

Because it was so late I jogged with my japanese friend to the next metro station and hoped that she'll catch the last train.
Then I went home....

We switched e-mail addresses and I hope we'll keep in touch!

ねえええ、色々ありました (＝⌒▽⌒＝)

Many things have happened, where do I start?

Ok guys, I was too lazy to write about the things that have happened (ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ
And now they were piling up. If you're interested....this will be a pretty long blog entry now www

Rolling Stones: Shine a Light

The first thing I want to write about is again the film festival in Vienna at the place in front of the townhall.
With some couchsurf friends of mine, we went there and were excited about the Rolling Stones (although it was just a DVD www).
It was a really great concert and I enjoyed the music.
Also because they also did have Buddy Guy and Christina Aguilera with them for two songs (・∀・)


The place was filled and people were even sitting on the ground just to have a place to watch the Rolling Stones, it was really great

But I really regret that nobody was dancing to the music! It's so sad because I'd have liked to dance to it. If I hadn't a seat on the terrace, I would have danced (〃∇〃) Especially for the song "Sympathy for the Devil".
We all had a great time together and it was really nice that even Keith sang 2 songs :*:・(￣∀￣)・:*:

Mick Jagger

Keith Richards

Charlie Watts



Eh...?! I totally forgot to take a picture of Ron (￣□￣;)!!

Mick and Buddy Guy singing together


Aaaaaand.....

Christina was singing as well with Mick later on




It also happened that when I saw this

I was like, oh, this looks like Tora (alice nine) Σ(=°ω°=;ノ)ノ

But then.... of course it's Keith! (;^ω^A

For the song "Sympathy of the Devil" Mick wear an open shirt.....naturally wwww

Later on even Keith was singing ("You Got the Silver")
(*_*)

That's how a great evening ended.



Then from the 24th to the 26th of August there was the largest convention about anime and manga in Austria.

It is called AniNite.

I somehow forgot about it on the 24th and arrived there later. But when I arrived there were two large queues in front of the location and some cool cosplayers

I really like it to see some good cosplayers. Everytime I see them, I want to make one myself wwww

Who knows, maybe I'll make one for next year.

So this weekend was full of nerdy stuff and I also got to see the mangaka of Judge and Wedding Peach! Really cool!

I also saw cosplayers cosplaying 黒子のバスケ о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆
But I don't have pictures of the cosplayers f^_^;

After those straining days I enjoyed a good cup of tea with my aunt on our small little balcony enjoying the last few summer days in Vienna.
Yeah, slowly autumn is breaking its way into Vienna.

Our small balcony. Although it's close to a crossing it's not too loud there and it's really neat to sit there on a summer day
Maybe if you're walking through Vienna and you look up and see some flowers along with a blue umbrella then you know it's us wwwww

That's one of my favourite teas! Black tea with wild cherry (゜ρ゜)

Film Festival in Vienna

Every year around August/September you can go to Vienna's town hall and the place in front of it is full with food stalls.

That's how the entrance looks like when you're going there

That they I went there because I wanted to see "La Traviata" an opera. This film festival is for free and they show operas, concerts and musicals. It's really neat (＾ー＾)ノ
Well, back to the topic. It started around 8:50 pm.

The town hall in the background and the huge screen

Many more people were coming than I guessed.

But there were many more because of the nice weather. Furthermore, the nice food stalls and the square's atmosphere~
After the third act it was already nearly 11 pm and the wind blew stronger. I decided to go home since I didn't want to get a cold.

Everybody should take care of their health and shouldn't catch a cold!! (ﾉﾟοﾟ)ﾉ

I'm curious if I'll be able to watch "The phantom of the opera" and "Rolling Stones: Shine A Light". If it wasn't too cold these evenings and not as long as La Traviata I hope I can make it www

Take care & keep on rocking!

Back in Austria and doing tourist stuff

皆さん、こんにちは!

My time in Germany was over before I could really realise it that I was in Germany again.

So, I'm back in Austria again after being alomost one month in Germany to visiting my friends and family.
One of my friends was so nice and drove me back in his little Ford Ka www
Well, for him it wasn't much of a deal since he was about to leave for Austria anyway.

So, since last thursday I was visiting tourists places and museums with him.
It was really hot for some days why it was a little exhausting to visit all the places because you've to walk around a lot.

First of all our ride took about 10 hours since his car isn't the fastest one wwww and on our way to Vienna the sky was divided. On the left side it was sunny and on the right side it was raining!

Here you can see it

Then we started right away on our first day! We went to the zoo! Although it was about 30°C σ(^_^;)

He really enjoyed it but he disliked it that the zoo was so big. Nevertheless I was able to see the black jaguar. It really is beautiful! You're still able to see its fur pattern (*ﾟｰﾟ*) But apparantely the photographs I took weren't good enough (_ _。)
But here is his partner!

I also took a photograph of some meerkats

Don't they look like a boygroup? www

Here I also have a picture of an andean bear chilling and a monkey with a very long very white tail ( °д°)

The next days we met our brothers, we met some of my austrian friends, we went together with some of my friends swimming and to the amusement park. After the amusement park we all had to rest a while since we rode some wild attractions. I also felt a little nauseous wwww

But I soon felt ready to go again since we were about to go eat Running Sushi! (*⌒∇⌒*)

We're 4 people and we're proud to present our collected plates! (a little over 60 plates)

We enjoyed our evenings either with Couchsurfing people or we relaxed in a nearby pub

After we went to the Leopold museum in the MQ we were lucky to see the preparation of the fashion show there

But my friend wasn't too interested in it why we almost immediately went away again.

Our view from the Albertina at the Opera in Vienna.

Then we visited the next museum. The Albertina offers an exhibition about artists from Monet till Picasso.
I really have to admit that I can't really understand all those paintings. I can just say which styles I like and which not. I really started to like Magritte and I really love Mucha's works. You should check them out!

Well, this is a long post for now and it contains almost everything we have done this week.
To be honest, I guess it will be twice as much when another friend of mine will visit me in September (^_-)☆

Germany

皆さん こんばんは！

I have to thank my friends and family for such a great month in Germany.

It already began great with two concerts Anli Pollicino and ACE

Those bands gave a great live and I also had a short but great moment at the signing or handshake events afterwards as well

On the day I wanted to leave Cologne it was really rainy although the days I had been with my friends it was almost all the time sunny.
It really rained cats and dogs as you can see in the picture below

Then I also visited my friends in Kaiserslautern,
A friend of mine took me to this good pizzeria but when you order a 'small' pizza that's what you get

The pizza was huge! Σ(ﾟдﾟ;)
But it tasted well (^__^)ノ

What I also found what was really delicious was 'the fresh tea shop' which uses taiwanese tea from Alishan and Lishan, Their bubble teas and tea drinks were sooo good (●´ω｀●)ゞ
Sad that I didn't took a picture of it!


On the 26th of July all of my friends gathered at a friend's house just to enjoy the nice weather and that everyone of us is finally back.

We also had a special guest from Berlin (^__^)♪

Our conversations lasted until the middle of the night but this nice fireplace warmed us and gave us light.

Only 3 days left for me. Then I'll drive back to Vienna again and live my life there again far away from my old friends.

But to witness how old friends' relationships don't alter much over time is really amazing.

I'm really glad to have such friends with which I can do the same foolish and funny things when I meet them again

Although almost a year has passed since our last meeting.

黒子のバスケ (^o^)

I found a new anime　黒子のバスケ!
I saw some of the first episodes and I already love it o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

Since I like playing Basketball myself I watched the first episode out of interest how it would be. Already after the first match with 黒こっち (his nickname ) I knew this anime will get me attached to it!

I think the art style really fits to this kind of story although it's a little bit of an odd story about basketball..... but I like strange things (￣￢￣*)

On the other hand I really like the story because it is a lot about the different characters in a basketball team which could be seen as how important it is to have all kinds of different personalities wherever you are! If everyone acted the same, nothing would work out.

Well...

Let's see how it will go on!

A in Cologne

Arrrrrh, me buddies!

A did a great job on the 6th of July in Cologne!

After the concert was a small handshake event which I really enjoyed becaus they were so nice and Nimo's english was really nice (^__^)

When we saw that only Nimo, Rookie and Toshi will be at the handshake event we were a little sad that their support members aren't going to join as well.
We thought that they should be praised as well for the awesome live.
But thanks to a friend of mine we're lucky and she asked the drummer Shunji if we could handshake with him (sadly we couldn't talk to the guitarist Kentaro since he wasn't to be seen anywhere on the stage later on).
When my friend asked him he allowed us to handshake with him and we could thank him as well.
That was the moment when it got official that some japanese people think that I'm Japanese σ(^_^;) I'm still not sure if I should like this....
Back to the topic, he was really nice to us and then we left for the real handshake event.

So ありがとうございます A and the staff members! I hope you'll come back to Europe and especially to Cologne and Vienna (^O^)/
I also hope that you rocked Vienna twice as hard since you played at my birthday and I still was in Germany that time. Furthermore I hope you enjoyed yourself the fullest!!（‐＾▽＾‐）

Finally a new blog feat. Xièxie Anli Pollicino

Anli Pollicino rocked the house on the 5th of July in Cologne!

I really fell in 'love' with those guys and their staff member then. They're such friendly guys, really caring for their fans. Since this was the first time that I saw a band stopped all activities right away when fans fainted in the first row. Only when they knew that those fans were taken care of they quickly asked the crowd to take care and if everyone is alright. Only then they started to play again.

They also gave an autograph session afterwards and I never had so much fun than with those band members www

本当にありがとうございました [xièxie] for this great evening!! m(_ _ )m

I hope to see you in Vienna some time or in Cologne again!

But I also want to thank the staff members! They're such great guys and girls (^∇^)
So thank you very much as well since you made this evening great and that you're so friendly and fun!




And now to something completely different....

I definitely need to be more often online here and write a blog now and then.
I'm also working on the fact that a japanese version of my blogs is necessary www
So, maybe looking forward to it? (*^ー^)ノ
